Abstract
Nuclear energy is a preferred option for electric power generation. The disadvantages of the current uranium-dioxide (UO2 ) fuel in nuclear power were presented and the reactor using the mixed thorium dioxide and uranium dioxide fuel ( ThO2-UO2 ) in the near future was foretold. A proposal to strengthen the research cooperation on the use of the thorium mineral resources in china was put forward.
